allele means a form of gene which gives rise to characteristics or traits. traits on the other hand mean a phenotype a person has. the green colour of a pea is the example of its trait and the genes responsible for the colour are examples of its alleles

A trait is the organism's feature. So, a trait would be eye color. A phenotype would be hazel. An allele is a gene. It can be recessive or dominant.
